Trumpets are indeed incredibly powerful and display incredible stamina in this insanely difficult piece. The high notes are high, unflinching, loud, sustained and sit atop the rest of the ensemble as if the trumpets are suspended 20 feet in the air above the rest of the orchestra. There is no sign of fatiguing over the course of the piece either, which is a big distinguishing factor in various recordings of this piece. To this point, please note: 4:33, 20:24, 40:00. Additionally, the passage at 21:57 reveals the virtuosity of its player. Just love this. Wish I could find a better quality recording.
I'm so glad to have it on original CD. The mightiness of the performance is blowing my mind whenever I listen to this. Hans Gansch in his "badass" times. I could hear Strauss' masterpiece several times live, Thomas Lachtners performance and powerplay on principal trumpet in St. Pölten with the "Tonkuenstler Orchester" in 2009 is the only one I know which is equal to this.

Hans Gansch performs some of the best trumpet playing this world has ever heard. He is assisted by a very solid Principal Trumpet colleague Hans Peter Schuh.
I have this on tape too, its as good live as on the cd! WDR should release it on DVD/Bluray with the Pulcinella that was played before the break! Wish i would have been in this concert.....
Too bad the sound isn't better. Glorious performance. Especially the Ausklang. After all that playing your guts out, to hit those soft high notes so beautifully, in the horn and trumpet.
Wenn jemand ab Minute 25, nicht zwei Minuten lang durchgehend erfriert und Tränen in den Augen hat, hat glaube ich kein Herz. Vielen Dank für diese Interpretation
da gebe ich ihnen vollkommen recht:-)) Strauss gehört für mich und bestimmt vielen anderen, zum genialsten Komponisten des 20.Jahrhunderts. Da steht nur noch Gustav Mahler neben Ihm.:-))
This is the best performance of the Alpine Symphony I've ever heard. It's very sad comparing how good the Vienna Philharmonic's trumpet section was and how bad it's today. Look at their performance at the Proms in 2012. The solo trumpet is simply embarrassing.
He played Alpine Symphony with a monster cold sore on his lower lip-hats off. At least he didn’t add vibrato as is common in American orchestras- thank God.
Loaded Bass You must be kidding. In fact Listen to recordings featuring the iconic Bud Herseth playing Mahler 5, Alpine Symphony, Don Juan etc. One can forgive the un-Germanic vibrato because he had a great sound, articulation and musicality, even in his eighties - a great player in the American tradition. Nowadays you get this methodical da da da articulation that has become an American trademark - especially in the trumpets. Yes, they may miss less but that’s no surprise when you’re playing an overly sustained loud legato (which is often erroneously called tenuto) with almost no front end (all vowels and no consonants). The German language is rich in consonants and that’s what German composers from Beethoven to Wagner, Bruckner, Strauss and Mahler expect from trumpets and the rest of the brass - as well as singers! I much prefer character and correct style, as shown here, even with the occasional miss.

YES! It's on the Seiji Ozawa anniversary collection box set, and also includes the Fanfare for the Vienna Phil and Feierlicher Einzug. Available on Amazon.
Just as God had prepared a Garden for man’s physical well-being, I believe He commanded all of creation-trees, plants and animals, everything-to produce music for the soul of man. Man had only to listen with the ear of the heart to hear the symphonies pouring forth from the cosmos: Composers had only to listen and RECORD what they each heard through the filters of each ones individuality! You don’t accept what I say? Okay, but will you say that man himself originated the other-worldly music attributed to Strauss, Bach, Beethoven, Mahler and others?
I sure will! Those composers are badass, and I don’t think anything should take away from the impressiveness of their achievements, including attributing them to some power other than their own minds and emotions.
playermartin286 What do you mean they’re dying? Listen to those horns! If you mean the staggering with little breaks- that’s just smart. Playing alpine symphony on a straight F Horn Vienna Horn is pretty amazing.
Frederic Boloix i mean that on the summit is a very difficult and strenuous part in and of itself and playing it even slower makes it even harder for the brass section
I was at the concert in Cologne. I was crying during the performance. Everyone had tears in their eyes. The music was so beautiful.
Hey trumpets, you're looking for 19:48
Thank you :)
Legendary performance, starring one of my favourite trumpet players, the incredible Hans Gansch!

what about Elektra under Sinopoli? WPh, DGG, it sounds like Mr Gansch!
Rolf Prejean true! out of confusion I put Salomé wrongly, it is the correct Elektra. it is already corrected, thanks for your help.

Thank you for posting this

Wow great performance! I wish Ozawa had recorded it
R.I.P Seiji Ozawa
Superb, especially the chorale playing from 43:00 onward.
Bravissimo e stupefacente esecuzione tromba impeccabile stratosferica
God 21:57 is an absolutely brilliant interpretation
Just for the record, you Strauss devotees know that the Alpine Symphony is NOT a symphony: It is one of Strauss’ most famous TONE POEMS!

Fantastic!

Did Mr. Hans Gansch also play the 1st Trumpet in the Alpine Symphony recording with Seiji Ozawa & Vienna Philharmonic in 1996?

This is the best performance of the Alpine Symphony I've ever heard.
It's very sad comparing how good the Vienna Philharmonic's trumpet section was and how bad it's today.
Look at their performance at the Proms in 2012. The solo trumpet is simply embarrassing.
And due a few not absolute perfect peak tunes performing at BBC proms you are bashing the whole today's trumpet section?
He played Alpine Symphony with a monster cold sore on his lower lip-hats off. At least he didn’t add vibrato as is common in American orchestras- thank God.
False. Vibrato is not common at all. Stop bashing American orchestras. If anything American orchestral players don't miss. :)
Loaded Bass You must be kidding. In fact Listen to recordings featuring the iconic Bud Herseth playing Mahler 5, Alpine Symphony, Don Juan etc. One can forgive the un-Germanic vibrato because he had a great sound, articulation and musicality, even in his eighties - a great player in the American tradition.
